    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    I wonder whether he is going to take many if any, the Broncos roster is pretty good and strong is the centres area. Also Boyd's options just reduced as they have Barba, Hoffman and Milford on the way. Is he going to take a massive cut just to play under Bennett on the wing?

    Wayne Bennett quitting the Knights

    Mate, we were ordinary for most of the year and were in a dogfight for 7 and 8 for most of the last third of the season. We were not consistent nor did we ever look like one of the top teams. We had a miracle two weeks at the end of the season, but it doesn't hide the fact that we were utter...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    Are you kidding. So Boyd, Morris, Gasnier, Cooper, Creagh, Scott, Smith aren't superstars. They were a team that was ready for the next step.

    Wayne Bennett quitting the Knights

    Interesting point and well made. Bennett leaves the Broncos after the golden production line has stopped. Goes to the Dragons who have a gun roster that is underperforming, wins the comp but leaves the joint as a rabble. Comes to us on massive coin, has free reign, recruits every old bloke he...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    He is a bloke that has really been given a saloon passage by the media for much of his career. The last few months with us has really tarnished his legacy and frankly his tenure has shown that his coaching ability may be way overstated. His ability to coach a superstar team to a premiership is...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    Seriously, its about money and the fact that he thinks the Broncos roster is on the rise. He is hoping that their roster will restore his credibility. That and the $4M dollars.

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    I think Gagai won't be going before his contract finishes. Hodges is signed until the end of 2016, Reed until the end of 2017 so they have a lock on centres. Gagai won't be able to fill in at FB because they have plenty of those and he wont play on the wing. He might struggle to follow...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    Bronco's players called to an unscheduled meeting at 11am. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/broncos-players-called-to-meeting-to-be-told-wayne-bennett-will-replace-anthony-griffin/story-fniabm4i-1226995830044 Wonder what this means for our roster. I suspect the raids will not be...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    I think the chance are slim of this happening but think it would be good for the club and even better for Darius. He needs to get out from under Bennett's wing and be his own man. He has got it in him to be an all time crowd favourite in Newcastle but his attitude needs some work...

    Another billionaire wants to buy us...

    The one thing we have in our favour is that the NRL own us and they would love to have someone like him supporting league. Hopefully they will also be less likely to take any notice of the rusted ons and vested interests.

    We'll end up balls this up. Koukash is so keen to get into the NRL but we'll stuff him around long enough that he'll buy in somewhere else.

    Rumoured targets 2

    I'm not kidding, we are 35m out from a scrum, 6 plays and he goes for the miracle. Just a reminder, the bounce didn't hold and they got the ball back. There was 20 to go and we were down by 12, there's a difference with being intuitive and just making it up. Seriously, we wouldn't need to...

    Rumoured targets 2

    Yep but of all of them, Mullo as the senior playmaker has to be the adult out there. He wasn't. That chip from the scrum was the worst option in a day of bad options. He has to be better yet after 150 plus games, he just can't control a game. Might be time for a plan B.

    #RiseForAlex R19 // Knights 8-22 Titans @ Hunter // Sun 2pm

    One of the issues is Newcastle. I love the place more than most even though I don't live there anymore but it's so damn insular. The average fan is more interested in where a player comes from than how he performs. They want Mids as CEO rather than a proven sports administrator. They...

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    Yeah, agree totally. The players aren't in charge and frankly whoever things they are needs to be moved on now. None of them has done enough in the game to claim that sort of right and you've got to wonder who they think they are.

    In light of the circumstances, that's probably the most important game the club has played in a decade and we offered up that. It boggles the mind.

    Alex has been served one of life's great shit sandwiches and right now he needs as much positivity as possible, I wonder what he really thinks when he sees the team perform like that?

    #RiseForAlex R19 // Knights 8-22 Titans @ Hunter // Sun 2pm

    I assumed that today the planets would align and we'd reach into the steaming pile of shit that is season 2014 and we'd pull out a diamond. I really couldn't believe what I saw today, unbelievable. The joint is broken and I just don't know whether it's salvageable.

    Wayne Bennett and future coach talk

    I am warming to a complete new direction because after today, it's plainly apparent that the club is broken and we need to burn it down, salt the earth and start again with a completely new structure and personnel.

    #RiseForAlex R19 // Knights 8-22 Titans @ Hunter // Sun 2pm

    It was on the cards. The tits were planning for an ambush and we've been focused on how much it means all week. Jeremy Smith was quoted as saying he was worried and maybe the occasion has got to them. Going to be tough into a strong breeze and the tits for all their mistakes seem very...
